KANYIBA KANYI DETAINED FOR 6 MONTHS
By Fabakary B. Ceesay
The family members of Kanyiba Kanyi, a supporter of the United Democratic Party, (UDP), who was arrested in September 2006, have told this reporter that they still cannot establish the whereabouts of their loved one.
According to family members, they have moved both heaven and earth to know exactly where Mr. Kanyi is detained but to no avail. Family members expressed shock over the long detention of their loved one, saying, "We do not know the necessary steps to take to facilitate the release of our relative or to know his place of detention."
It could be recalled that Kanyiba Kanyi, was picked up by plain clothes officers, who were onboard a taxi at his home at Bontho, Kombo East, on 18th September 2006. On Tuesday 17th October 2006 (nearly four months ago), Justice Monageng of the High Court ordered for the unconditional release of Mr. Kanyi, but the state is yet to comply with the order. Kanyiba Kanyi is a local staff of the Christian Children's Fund (CCF).

Governments should uphold all court decisions or provide an appeal to decisions they think is wrongly decided by a high court to the supreme court.
As the state did not challenge the decision of Justice Monageng,that makes Kanyiba's detention unconstitutional.The state has to be seen to respects the rule of law, so that democratic institutions like the judiciary,parliament and executive can function side by side.
Each side must respect the role of the other.
I therefore join Justice Monageng of the High Court and many other callers for the immidiate release of Mr.Kanyiba without delay.
Peace.
